Cottage vacation rentals in Highlands

We love this little Red Cottage! It was a perfect little get away for my husband and I. The front porch bed/swing was amazing! I would definitely go back!

Lovely accommodations and gorgeous location with ample privacy. Looking out to the mountains across from the home reminded me of the Amalfi Coast with all the houses lit up at night. Magical!

Place was exactly as advertised and host helped with recommendations, and was responsive to any questions / issues. Lovely place to stay near several great hikes!

We absolutely loved our stay here! It was beautiful, quiet, peaceful, and just in the perfect spot to be if you’re wanting to travel to Sylva or Cherokee. Within comfortable distances between towns, yet a quaint and quiet space. Katherine was very helpful with keeping me in check on the weather, places to go, and things to do.

james place was exactly as described. James was very helpful and responsive. will definitely be back. if your looking for a peaceful relaxing getaway book with James. thanks again for everything

Cute little cabin! The yard is not fully fenced in if your dog is like mine--she jumped up on the wood/log retaining wall that serves as part of the fence to get out of the yard. The location was great, very close to the Maggie Valley shops and also not a far drive to Lake Junaluska or Waynesville. It is a peaceful place to be, we enjoyed it a lot.

I loved my stay at Ferngully! Everything was as described. Instructions were clear and thorough. I felt right at home. I didn’t utilize all of the amenities, but there was plenty if needed. The hot tub was great which was a major factor in booking. Location was another factor. I enjoyed an amazing sunset from Bell Mountain, which is not far. I also rode over to Alpine Helen.

Absolutely loved it here! Beautiful house and private surrounding area, it was a great getaway. Owners were very friendly and great at communicating. Would stay again!

This is a really nice little efficency cabin just right for 2 people and 2 small dogs. We felt right at home and really enjoyed our stay. Its close enough to make everything accessible and far enough to have a nice view and in a quiet area. Thanks Christie, we hope to stay with you again.

We absolutely loved The Hobbit House and wanted for nothing while there! Our host, Donna, provided fantastic and helpful information about the house and surrounding area (restaurants, things to do, etc.). The house was lovely, charming, and had everything that we needed to be completely comfortable while there. It is conveniently located yet also private. We would definitely stay here again!

Wonderful stay! This was my second time at Sam’s place & it was just as great as I remembered from our first stay a few years ago. Clean & comfortable, it was a wonderful home base for traveling around the Asheville area for work. Such a peaceful spot to come back to after long days on the road, bouncing from one client visit to the next. Seriously couldn’t ask for a more friendly & responsive host or anything more from our stay. Highly recommend to anyone staying in the area!

Beautiful home—we enjoyed our stay very much. Francis was friendly and so helpful! We brought our son and two furry four legged daughters who loved the grounds! It was actually better than pictures and descriptions. Home was clean, inviting, comfortable. You won’t be disappointed picking this home for a vacation or quick stay We will definitely be back. Thank you for making our getaway so enjoyable and relaxing!!!!

Great location — 10 mins to the Blue Ridge parkway and 10 mins to grocery stores. The space was comfortable and we enjoyed lounging on the patio bed after a hike. Our dog loved the path behind the house too!

Cameron's place was perfect for our one-night visit to Cashiers, NC. Communication was excellent and the check in/check out process was very simple. The room was as described.

The cabin was very clean and the stream below was nice to walk down to. The cabin, as described, a 80’s feel, but we liked that. It is like walking into Grandmas house. The kitchen was stocked as was the linens and towels. Would definitely stay again.

We enjoyed our stay, even though it was cut short due to downed power line/ water cut off which neither of us had control over. Duke is working on resolving the matter promptly. We appreciate Michelle, she was very helpful and responsive throughout this and our stay. We were sad to leave, the location itself is private. The roads are well maintained and easy to navigate in and out from. Loved waking up to the ever changing view plus being able to bring our pup, Thor along with us. Thanks for having us!

The views from the wrap around porch are breathtaking. Just wish we had been able to enjoy them longer. The inside is spacious and well appointed and very clean.

I can’t express how nice this cabin is, it’s beautiful. Very nice decor and comfortable beds & furniture. The upstairs loft is so cozy! The deck was spacious and well maintained, the views of the mountains from the covered porch were pretty. Parking is easygoing, no steep driveway. The hosts are very friendly and welcoming! This cabin is not far from the main highway, makes travel easy to navigate the area and explore. The cabin is a few minutes drive from WCU, which is very convenient for anyone in town visiting their college kid. I enjoyed my stay, and I recommend this place a 100%.

A last minute stay in Lake Toxaway was made perfect with Patrick’s space. My husband, dog and I felt right at home. We made lots of tea and enjoyed mornings and evenings on the deck when we weren’t hiking to waterfalls nearby. Beds were cozy, the space was so clean, and little touches made everything just right. We even grilled out on the porch our last evening in town. Highly recommend this spot!

This place is beyond amazing. The attention to detail, the cleanliness, the peace, is indescribable. The bed was one of the nicest beds I've stayed in. They have gone above and beyond to make sure that everything is part of the beautiful experience. Highly recommended! Make sure your vehicle has all-wheel drive or 4x4 to go up the dirt road, it's actually fun to get up there. You will not be disappointed staying at this place!

The cozy cottage owned by David and Kelly is great - very clean, well stocked, comfortable, and conveniently located in a scenic setting near Waynesville. Their communications and responsiveness were excellent. We hope to visit the area again and if so hope to stay here again.

Tyler's home is perfect for a mountain getaway. It's tucked in the trees and has a beautiful porch to relax on. I would happily stay here again.

We had a fantastic stay! The place was private, peaceful and beautiful. We went for an Easter getaway and to visit our daughter at Clemson. Maggie was meticulous with every detail from a goody basket, towels, instructions and even invited us to her house for Easter dinner! The kitchen had everything item you can imagine and we loved being able to walk around their property. The pigs were a special treat! We will definitely be back whenever we need a relaxing weekend on the lake! Thanks for sharing your beautiful home!

We had a wonderful week at Carrie’s cottage! The personal touches were a nice detail. From the fresh eggs and flowers to the personal note and snacks, everything was great! Loved watching the cows graze and listening to the creek. Carrie was super responsive to questions, and when we had an issue come up, she came to our rescue immediately. We would definitely stay here again!
